update and revision: back on the horse
So, a week or two later, a lot of hair pulling, and some tinkering in illustrator on test spreads, here’s where thing stand…
“I was wrestling with the content for a while, and that was one of the
main things slowing me up. My initial idea of relating quantum physics
to simple everyday analogies was a fair bit more ambitious than I
originally realized. Considering that only about ten percent of
physicists even partially understand the topic, tackling it from an
outside perspective with no solid information resource was rather
foolish.Keeping that in mind, I still want to keep a similar audience, so the
adaptation I’m persuing is to create what is, essentially, an amusing,
but not particularly factual, interpretation of the subject. Taking a
very uneducated layman’s understanding of the topic, and making it fun
and engaging. The tone of the work would be reminiscent of the
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy novels/movie/radio drama/television
show by Douglas Adams, if you’re familiar with them.
I’m still hoping to integrate the idea of the poster with the
monograph as a method of displaying it. Potentially as a modular
poster that could use diagrams on the reverse to form a large
illustration.”
